  1. Review - Opera for Windows

    8.50 (Sep 25, 2005)

    The best browser in the Earth.

  2. Review - Vypress Chat

    2.1 (Sep 18, 2005)

    Come on, guys, put a good screenshot here, not the one from 1.9.2 version :)

    What can I say, VC is still the best network chat software...

  3. Review - Age of Empires III

    Demo (Sep 9, 2005)

    To TwinsDad:

    Check http://aoe3.heavengames.com/ for information about that Direct3D bug (and don't forget to read the forums as well :).

    For others who complain about interface, bugs etc. - EnsembleStudios has changed A LOT after releasing a demo (they say like 600 bugs were fixed, interface shrinked a bit, AI improved a lot and so on). This is a DEMO, designed for you to feel what AoEIII will be like (mainly graphics and similar stuff, not balance/gameplay/features etc.), the final product will probably be much better...

  4. Comment - Microsoft Could Delay Vista in Europe

    Demo (Sep 9, 2006 - 8:52 AM)

    Yeah, right, cracked versions always break, don't they? ;)

    IMO, if there were no cracked versions, eastern Europe and Russia (not even talking about China etc.) would have a pathetic computerization rate nowadays. Try to buy an operating system which costs more than your monthly salary - not even talking about additional programs... And Linux is still not very "looser-friendly".

  5. Comment - Microsoft Could Delay Vista in Europe

    Demo (Sep 9, 2006 - 8:46 AM)

    Agreed - MS will probably suffer much more in this case. We can live without Vista for another year or so, MS can't...

  6. Comment - Report: EU Close to Fining Microsoft

    Demo (Jun 27, 2006 - 11:56 AM)

    >Pull the plug on the EU...

    Ok, let's see what would happen in this case.

    1) Microsoft immediately loses half or even more of its sales - EU is economically equal to US and there is a rapid computerization in weaker EU states. Add Russia to this too - and I am absolutely sure that MS will come back on its knees begging for EU to buy Windows again. US is not the biggest market anymore.

    2) Do you REALLY think all europeans will stop using Windows just because MS won't sell the copies anymore? Come on... Windows XP is a good OS and can be used for at least 1-2 more years. And EU Commision would surely assign neccessary funds to create an equivalent operating system as soon as possible. During that time, Windows XP copies could be made available for free and for everybody who wants - and what are you going to do, Microsoft?

    3) Finally, remember, that US Government needs a lot of support outside the US. In a case of conflict between Microsoft and EU, the Congress or whatever you've got there, will probably support EU, not Microsoft. Yes, US is a powerful state, but it needs support from Europeans - and Microsoft cannot expect help from the US government.

    Haven't got any other ideas for now...
